YikeBike: Folding, Mini Farthing Electric Bicycle

Artists, designers and innovative minded folks with some acrobatic sense, here comes the type of folding electric bicycle you might want to have for little performance at your work place. Designed with a 450-watt electric DC motor is capable to run the 20-inch front wheel up to 14 mph top speed.

The dimension of this compact greeny Yike Bike Electric Bicycle is 41 x 25 x 32-inches (LxWxH), weighing 25 1/4 pounds including the rechargeable battery that offers up to a six-mile range from a two hour charge using the included AC adapter.

For ease of storage, this electric bicycle is designed with folding mechanism, inspired by the large-wheeled penny farthing bicycle popular in the late 19th century. Claims to be the smallest folding electric bicycle in the world when measured by its 43-liter volume, as it holds the Guinness World Record for its compacts to 23 1/2″ L x 6″ W x 23 1/2″ H in just 20 seconds for easy transport or storage.

The little 8-inch rear wheel provides steering, while it could holds a rider up to 220 lbs in weight. For riding, simply sits in an upright position with the handlebars at the sides rather than in frontâ€”gentle leaning to either direction assists turns.

There is a built-in brake and LED lights that allows you to keep your hands on the handlebars at all times for fantastic maneuverability.
